sometimes you don't get what you pay for.
I've got some inexpensive Wellgo SPD pedals that must be at least 12 years old with many thousands of miles of use, and they are still going strong. However, I'm currently using Shimano M-540s on two bikes and they appear to be better quality, but only time will tell.
